After an audit that ended in February, Cerbras, a national reference in the porcelain and ceramic coverings segment and present in the market for more than 30 years, was awarded the ESG-FIEC seal, a title responsible for validating companies' environmental, social and corporate practices. It is the first company in the sector, in the country, to receive the ESG seal.
The recognition ceremony was held this Wednesday (26), with certification delivered by the president of the Federation of Industries of the State of Ceará (FIEC), Ricardo Cavalcante, at the institution's headquarters. The president of Cerbras, Ana Lúcia Mota, the administrative and environmental vice president, Ticiana Mota, and the marketing coordinator, Iana Arruda, were at the event to represent the brand.
Cerbras adopts several sustainable practices that guarantee product quality and reduce environmental impacts. Thus, it was possible for the company to receive the ESG-FIEC seal. Among these activities, the reuse of water from the production process stands out, as it operates in a closed cycle, after use it is sent to the treatment plant and returns again for use in production. In addition, Cerbras is a pioneer in Brazil in the use of Biogas, one of the cleanest sources of energy today. It is also worth mentioning that it reintegrates manufacturing waste into the production cycle, such as uncontaminated clay powder and ceramic shards, as well as granite processing waste from third parties, also contributing to the circular economy.
Ticiana Mota, Administrative and Environmental Vice President at Cerbras, highlights the importance of this seal for the company. “The ESG-FIEC seal is a certification that gives credibility to companies that apply sustainability, governance and social well-being actions in their daily actions. It is by thinking about the collective that we are able to offer better products to society, and being recognized by the Federation of Industries of Ceará is something that gives us great gratitude and reinforces our work”, she says.
About the ESG-FIEC seal
The ESG-FIEC certification program is responsible for evaluating Ceará's industries in the management, environmental and social contexts. Those who adhere to the seal's certification program undergo a series of assessments by a team that judges whether the actions implemented by the industry are really in line with ESG practices. Winning this seal is essential for companies to prove that they are, in fact, committed to causes such as the preservation of natural resources, people management and the growth of society as a whole.
